Ingolstadt vs Union Berlin
Germany – 2. Bundesliga
Date: Monday, 1 October 2018
Kick-Off at 19:30 UK
Venue: Audi-Sportpark (Ingolstadt)
Ingolstadt have struggled for points and they host top-spot chasers Union Berlin for their Matchday 8 clash with a three-game losing streak behind them, as Alexander Nouri’s men sit in the relegation zone with just five points to their name after seven 2. Bundesliga games played.
Die Schanzer have struggled to score goals and just one in their last three outings was enough for no points, which could be even more worrying than their current position on the league table ahead of the clash against the visitors who regularly net goals.
Union Berlin come into the match on the back of a 2-0 home win over Holstein Kiel, building on a seven-game unbeaten streak across competitions – where they earned four draws and three wins. Union Berlin have seen draws at both Sandhausen and Arminia Bielefeld and will not be very happy with their goalscoring tally, but Urs Fischer has set up a tough defensive line and we’ll now surely see them as a very tough nut to crack at Audi-Sportpark too.
We will now stick our necks out for Ingolstadt to put on a solid challenge and hold off the in-form rivals, going for another Draw between the sides and backing it at 3.20. We have seen Union Berlin struggling to show their force on the road and this could be an open chance for the home side to lift their team spirits.
However, we do believe they’ll have to score goals to do so and with that in mind, we’ll now also back a YES on Both teams to score at 1.72. We have seen both sides scoring and conceding goals recently and this could shape to be the best way to go about the fixture, as we expect both very motivated to leave unbeaten.
